Just as Eleanor was indulging in pleasure every day and had been completely trained into the shape of Russell, her brother, Prince Conrad, had to rush around busy with recent events.
Just as Russell had imagined, the news that the Black Princess had colluded with the devil and killed a large number of knights immediately caused an uproar when it was reported back to the royal city of Gritzburg.
With the vigorous propaganda of the church and the knights, it became impossible for the royal family to cover up this major scandal.
Therefore, the royal family had to appease the knights and the church while sending capable and reliable people to Meldorf.
This person not only has to comfort and mourn the knights on behalf of the royal family, but also has to try to clarify things secretly, so that at least the royal family can take targeted measures and not be as passive as it is now.
Therefore, the noble Crown Prince Conrad was sent out by King Frederick to show his respect.
At the same time, His Majesty King Frederick also gave Conrad personal instructions and explained several principles.
First of all, they must deny the royal family's connection with the Black Princess and insist that it was a conspiracy of the devil. If they really can't deny it, they can say that she was bewitched by the devil and has nothing to do with the Usedom royal family.
"Conrad, you must not try to speak for your aunt out of old friendship. That would be bringing trouble to us, do you understand?" King Frederick said seriously.
Conrad nodded reluctantly.
To be honest, Conrad still likes this aunt who gave him sexual enlightenment. She is also his best bed partner so far. She is wild and unrestrained, can do all kinds of tricks, and can always make Conrad very happy in bed.
My aunt had written before that after she created a perfect body, the two of them would have a good time together - without my father or any of my brothers.
Conrad had been looking forward to this for a while, but what he heard was the sad news that his aunt had been murdered.
Before Conrad even had time to feel lost, his father, who was closer to his aunt, coldly asked him to draw a clear line between himself and his aunt.
Conrad certainly knew his priorities.
The knights are now in an uproar, suspecting that this is a royal conspiracy to eliminate these landless knights who are a destabilizing factor.
So you bastards also know that you are a destabilizing factor! Conrad had no good feelings towards these landless knights, believing them to be useless, which was why they were defeated by the demonic attacks and even lost most of their territory at one time.
Moreover, after fleeing to the East, they became the most restless factor affecting public security. Since His Majesty the King could not give more land to his followers, he had to grant them some privileges to show his favor.
The fragile self-esteem of the defeated knight combined with the king's privileges produced a serious chemical reaction.
They would draw their swords and attack people at the slightest disagreement, and relying on their privileges, they would run to the market and snatch anything they liked from merchants. If a merchant dared to object, they would kill him with their swords. As a result, the security in Gritzburg deteriorated rapidly.
Conrad was not the kind of prince who valued the lives of ordinary people. He simply disliked the Landless Knights because their actions caused the market to quickly go into recession and several merchants who had always tried to please him were killed.
But now His Highness Conrad had to put on a smile and show concern for these bastards whom he had always disliked in order to appease the knights' emotions.
Just thinking about this was enough to make Conrad depressed.
But King Frederick told him more than one principle after he had spoken to him.
"Secondly, if we can confirm that the bastard Mark has nothing to do with the Black Princess, have him return to Gritzburg."
But Her Majesty Queen Adelaide had the exact opposite request of Conrad: "There seems to be no need to bring that bastard Mark to me. He's just a bastard. I heard there are many bandits in Meldorf. You must be careful."
Conrad's mother said nonchalantly while looking at her nails.
Conrad could only agree reluctantly.
His Royal Highness the Prince certainly knew what his father, King Frederick, was thinking. Things were different now than before, and the royal authority was equally shaky. His father planned to compromise and allow members of the royal family to intermarry with ordinary humans in order to win over the hearts of the people.
Her Majesty Queen Adelaide's thinking was very much in line with that of a traditional Burgundy. She stubbornly resisted the royal noble blood being contaminated by bastards, so she hinted to Conrad to kill Mark under the pretext of "bandits".
It was also because Queen Adelaide had been secretly obstructing her, so Eleanor, who actually had no opinion of her own, had always resisted Ludwig.
In Queen Adelaide's view, her daughter was left to her sons, just like herself. How could she allow the inferior foreigners to defile her?
Queen Adelaide, who was wiping her tears at this time, naturally would not have thought that her daughter had already been developed in various positions. If she knew about this, she would probably faint from anger.
"And your poor sister Eleanor." Queen Adelaide took out a silk handkerchief to wipe her tears.
This handkerchief looked very familiar to Conrad, and he couldn't help feeling sad - the Queen Mother actually used this handkerchief more than once, which showed how embarrassed Usedom was!
"Your cruel father just handed your sister over to that useless bastard Ludwig. Now that bastard is dead in Meldorf. I don't know how much injustice Eleanor must have suffered!"
Queen Adelaide's true feelings were revealed and she began to cry.
Her Majesty the Queen did not know that her daughter was now riding on Russell's body, twisting her waist desperately, shaking her hair, as wild as a female knight. Instead of feeling aggrieved, she was extremely happy.
"So, Conrad, you must find Eleanor back. You know, I plan to leave her to you as queen!" Queen Adelaide said, wiping her tears.
"You have to know that the Queen can't mess around with you brothers like my sister Lola did. What a shame! That's why I protected Eleanor very well. None of you have ever touched her, including your father. But who would have thought that this poor child would have to use the method Lola brought back to barely save her life!"
"Now my poor sister Lola is dead in Meldorf. You must bring your poor sister back alive!" Queen Adelaide became more and more excited as she spoke, and almost fainted from crying.
After calming down his emotional mother, Conrad felt hot in his heart. He originally thought that his mother did not allow his brothers to touch Eleanor because she wanted to marry her off, but he did not expect that she wanted to keep his sister as his queen!
When Conrad thought of Eleanor's pure, innocent, and charming appearance, and that she would be his exclusive wife, he felt excited and wished he could grow wings and fly to Meldorf.
Just when Conrad was determined to rescue Eleanor, his sister, who was still pure and innocent in his mind, spit out little Russell with a charming smile, then gently closed her eyes, obediently raised her little face, and let Russell's pure white essence spray all over her cheeks.
153 Prince Conrad's Troubles
Prince Conrad said goodbye to his father and mother, and rode towards Meldorf with a team of royal guards and several followers.
Thinking about the contradictory requests from his father and mother, Prince Conrad's face wrinkled completely, his facial features twisted together, and he couldn't even show a comfortable expression.
First, the king was determined to distance himself from the Black Princess and would never allow this matter to be linked to the royal family; but the queen implied that she was her aunt after all.
Conrad agreed with his father's judgment on this matter. The royal family must not have any relationship with the Black Princess openly, otherwise it would be a blatant sin against the entire knight class.
Although the Landless Knights and the Eastern Knights competed fiercely with each other, they were united in this matter.
No matter how much Crown Prince Conrad missed his passionate aunt's skillful techniques, he had to consider appeasing the knights as a whole.
The church has always been eyeing the royal family's secular power. At this precarious moment, it must not push the knights completely to the church.
Conrad didn't want to wait until he ascended the throne only to find that he was left with a mess like a nominal king who no one could command.
Second, the king wants Conrad to bring the Black Princess's son back to the royal city under another name to prepare public opinion for his marriage with a mortal; but the queen dislikes Mark because he is a mixed-race bastard and asks Conrad to solve this problem without anyone noticing.
In this matter, the king and the queen selectively forgot that Mark was the son of the Black Princess - to be precise, they did not regard Mark, the tool created by the Black Princess, as a human being at all.
Conrad naturally had the same mentality, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not take this matter seriously. He thought that he could adapt to the situation when the time came. If none of his mother's other requests could be fulfilled, he might just chop Mark off to please his mother.
Third, the king ignored Eleanor and seemed to be willing to let her die outside; but the queen was worried about her daughter and asked Conrad to find Eleanor's whereabouts and bring her precious daughter back to the royal city.
Although Conrad was very jealous of what his mother said, he also hoped that his pure sister would be his queen.
But Crown Prince Conrad remained cautious and decided to wait and see. After all, Eleanor's sudden death was extremely suspicious, and his father's Black Guards also watched that useless Ludwig take Eleanor away from Gritzburg, which showed the attitude of His Majesty King Frederick of Usedom.
Perhaps His Majesty the King was determined to bribe the knights with marriage, so he exiled Eleanor, the only one of this generation who was qualified to be queen, in disguise.
Therefore, Conrad decided to listen to his mother and find his sister first. At worst, he could hide his sister first, and wait until his father died and he ascended the throne, and then win her to be his queen.
As for who actually killed the Black Princess, and whether it was really as the rumors said that she died in the knights' fierce counterattack, Conrad, who knew his aunt's strength well, did not believe that these down-and-out knights had the ability to fight against his aunt.
His Majesty Friedrich also did not believe this so-called "official" statement.
When addressing Crown Prince Conrad, Frederick said, "I heard that it was done by an Occitania nobleman named Russell. I also heard that he had two female companions with him, one from the Walhausen family and the other from Vitolos."
When Crown Prince Conrad heard about this combination, he felt quite troubled.
First of all, he was no match for his aunt, the Black Princess. The inner circle of the royal family knew very well the origins of the Black Princess's strange magic spells, but they still pretended to be ignorant, just to make it easier to cut them off at this moment.
Moreover, it was heard that the guy who could defeat his aunt was accompanied by a knight from the Walhausen family and a wizard from Vitolos. This team made Crown Prince Conrad frown subconsciously.
"I want you to find out if these people have a way to cross the gray fog and reconnect with Vitolos and Occitania."
If they could contact other countries, it would naturally mean that the Church of Usedom had a way to contact the Holy See, which was not good news for His Majesty the King.
Countless thoughts raced through King Frederick's mind, and he accidentally glanced at Conrad, who was frowning.
This glance filled Crown Prince Conrad with fear. After the great retreat, Usedom was practically surrounded by the gray fog, or demons. However, Frederick was able to gather the remaining territory and integrate it into a single country. His power was undoubtedly formidable.
A strong king always creates a weak and punching-bag prince. Conrad became obedient at the mere glance of the king.
Friedrich saw through Conrad's concerns and offered reassurance, "Well, since we have the Walhausen family here, you don't have to worry. William is a man of measure. He won't draw his sword against me, and he'll naturally restrain his family as well."
"Huh? Why, but they're not talking to Auntie..." Conrad blurted out.
"The Crown Prince is the true representative of royal power." King Frederick spoke slowly and in a low voice, as if he was speaking in a riddle.
Looking at Conrad who still had a confused look on his face, King Frederick sighed secretly in his heart. He really didn't like Conrad, this stupid kid.
But his children all have some mental problems, and I don’t know why. Is our Burgoni family really cursed by the devil?
Since his sons were all good-for-nothings (by His Majesty's standards), Frederick had no choice but to have them marry smart wives and then hope for grandchildren.
For Friedrich, allowing royal family members to intermarry with mortals of less noble blood was not just a political consideration, he also had the idea of improving his family bloodline.
Frederick was troubled by the thought of his queen Adelaide's foolish and stubborn insistence on her noble Burgundy bloodline and her daily quarrels with him.
Looking at the dull-witted Crown Prince again, Frederick wanted to give him some advice, but he suddenly lost interest in speaking.
"William Wollhausen knows clearly what a king means in mysticism, and his people will not attack you. Go, go down!" His Majesty the King said lightly, then waved his hand casually and stopped talking.
Conrad became even more uneasy when he thought of his father's impatient expression and his refusal to explain that day.
However, when Crown Prince Conrad turned around and looked at the two knights riding black horses and wearing black armor who were half a horse length behind him, his worries were immediately dispelled.
Anyway, my father still sent two black guards to assist me, so Russell has nothing to be afraid of!
Crown Prince Conrad suddenly grew braver and straightened his back subconsciously.
The author says:
Author's words: Thank you for the tips, reminders and coins without nicknames;

154 letters
Then, Russell received a letter from the ambitious Prince.
"
Dear Sir Russell,
May this letter reach you on time, conveying the deepest regards and respects of Conrad Bourgogne. May God forgive my presumption, as I humbly express the sincerity of my personal visit to your house.
It is with great joy that I will be in Meldorf in the near future, hoping to have the honor of listening to your words of wisdom and sharing a sacred time at Heinrich's estate.
I will prepare a small gift to present on arrival to express my gratitude for your generous hospitality. I hope this visit will be the beginning of a friendship between us and an unforgettable occasion.
May your estate prosper and your family be blessed with health. I look forward to seeing you in person soon.
High wishes.
Bourgogne Conrad
"
Russell patiently read it several times before he realized that the only useful thing in Prince Conrad's nonsense letter was the sentence "sharing a sacred time."
Since the Black Princess was identified as a demon, then there was no doubt that the process of conquering the demon was naturally sacred. Therefore, this letter still obliquely explained the purpose of Crown Prince Conrad's visit.
Russell sighed at the thought of dealing with such a guy who talked nonsense and spoke in circles.
"Master, what's wrong?" Eleanor stood obediently behind Russell.
Still, her eyes betrayed her.
When Eleanor heard that this was a letter from her brother, her heart was filled with excitement, and her eyes unconsciously glanced at the letter in Russell's hand several times.
If Eleanor had not been trained in the past few days and her body had firmly memorized the rules of a slave girl, she would probably have snatched the letter and read it.
Russell casually handed the letter to Eleanor: "Nothing, the letter from your brother is really - really polite."
Eleanor forced herself to suppress her excitement. She first stretched out one hand, then subconsciously raised her left hand. Then she bent down and respectfully took the letter from Russell.
If Crown Prince Conrad knew that his sister, who had always been spoiled by their mother, had been brought up in such a way, it is unknown whether the wording of his letter would still be so polite.
However, Conrad never thought that his sister would fall into Russell's hands. The crown prince had a mysterious confidence in his bloodline.
He always felt that his sister, who was of equally noble blood, was simply trapped in some kind of mechanism and would never fall into the hands of those untouchables.
Therefore, finding his sister naturally does not require a fake hand. As long as he, the crown prince, comes forward, he can find her immediately!
However, Eleanor, who was already in Russell's hands, excitedly accepted the letter from her brother.
In Eleanor's opinion, her powerful father must have known her situation and sent her brother to write to Russell and visit him to ask him to release her. It must be like this!
Of course, Eleanor didn't really want to leave Russell. She was even a little obsessed with her identity as a slave girl.
